Learn how to play with Kog'Maw with these essential tips.
Tags:
All
When Kog'Maw activates his W (Bio-Arcane Barrage), look for opportunities to engage or skirmish. He deals significantly more damage during this 8-second window and has increased attack range to hit enemies safely.
Basic Team Fight Skirmish
Prioritize protecting Kog'Maw during teamfights, as he has no mobility skills to escape threats. Position yourself between him and enemy engage champions to intercept incoming threats.
Team Fight
When Kog'Maw hits an enemy with his Q (Caustic Spittle), focus your damage on that target. The ability reduces enemy armor and magic resistance by up to 32% for 4 seconds, amplifying all team damage.
Team Fight Skirmish
As a support, select champions with strong protective abilities when paired with Kog'Maw. His lack of mobility makes him vulnerable to engage, but with proper protection, he can safely deal massive damage from range.
Basic Lane Phase Team Fight
Pay attention to when Kog'Maw's W (Bio-Arcane Barrage) is on cooldown. When the ability is unavailable, play more defensively as his damage output is significantly reduced until it comes back up.
Team Fight Skirmish
Kog'Maw reaches peak power after level 9 (maxed W) and with 2+ completed items. Play more cautiously in the early game, even if it means sacrificing some objectives, to ensure he reaches these critical power spikes.
Late Game
Maintain strong vision control around Kog'Maw, especially on flanks. Place control wards in key locations to deny enemy assassins the opportunity to ambush him.
Late Game Team Fight
When chasing or retreating, move through Kog'Maw's E (Void Ooze) slow field. Enemies will be slowed by up to 60%, making it easier to catch them or escape.
Skirmish Team Fight
Kog'Maw's R (Living Artillery) grants vision of the target area before impact. Ask him to check unwarded bushes or objectives when you suspect enemies might be lurking.
